Actually that's a really good idea YorkieMommie, puppies need a lot of sleep or they get grouchy - lol and like kids they fight a nap every step of the way, afraid they might miss something. That method also teaches them that play time isn't all the time. How long did it take Abbie to catch on to the idea? how old is she by the way? Sometimes I have to make Binky take a nap, he gets spastic and races through the house which is okay until he starts biting my toes and barking at me. Then I have to pick him up and scratch his back or his chest. The next thing you know he's out so I lay him on the bed and he sleeps for 2-3 hours...then all is well! He just turned 7 months.
